\"\"<\/a>A brother and sister live happily with their parents, but one day while playing in the garden, the sister gets very sick and the parents have to take her to the hospital.\u00a0 On the way, the older brother comforts his sister by telling her a story in a fantasy world.\u00a0 In the story, a rabbit and a plant are friends.\u00a0 But one day some evil purple growths appear and make the plant sick, so it\u2019s up to the rabbit to help her.\u00a0 You play as the rabbit in this point and click adventure with hidden picture game elements.\u00a0 It\u2019s available to download on most current game consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

In the game you view each area in a single screen, and can move a cursor around and click on objects.\u00a0 You\u2019ll have to collect a certain number of objects to finish objectives, and that\u2019s how this game is like those \u2018find hidden objects\u2019 challenges, like what you see in Highlights magazine.\u00a0 You\u2019ll have to find sticks to use as rungs for a ladder so Rabbit can get out of his hole, or you\u2019ll need to collect a number of balloons so you can carry the sick plant to the doctor.\u00a0 Sometimes you must click on items to use on other items to solve puzzles, or enter special screens to play a mini-game puzzle.<\/p>\n

The game\u2019s story is told with little to no words at all, which is charming but it also makes the game rather vague.\u00a0 Most of the story I gleaned for this review was from the press release I got, not from the game itself.\u00a0 And with little to no instructions, I had a hard time figuring out what to do.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t realize for a while that you had to hold down a button for a few seconds to enter certain areas, and I had to use a video guide just to get past the first room.\u00a0 Not because it was hard, but because I had no idea what to do, and the game doesn\u2019t have any hint options I could find.\u00a0 I ended up just moving my cursor around and constantly mashing the button to see what I could click on, and that\u2019s never good.\u00a0 It\u2019s a shame because the premise of this game is very charming, and I would\u2019ve loved to see it through had it not been for the bad gameplay decisions.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

My Brother Rabbit is rated E with an ESRB descriptor of Mild Fantasy Violence, but I didn\u2019t really notice anything violent.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for some of the text, but most of the game is told with picture cues.\u00a0 But the lack of instructions and confusing gameplay may frustrate younger gamers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
